hummm.... so i have realized my routine. I bike, go to work,.... then after work i always venture through Holts and drewl... (then I go to winners and buy underwear haha). THis is what i found on my way to the perfume counter on my daily dose of holts. please note i never buy just window shop haha at $325 Alexander Mcqueen is out of the question for a coffee shop gal like myself.
There is something very charming and adoring about the tap of a type writer. My lap top doesn't have the same snap when a key is hit and ink is pressed and stained onto a a piece of paper...just word document! That tap tap tap is so loving! I was given my Opis' type writer when he passed away and every morning i tap the keys and think about him! One of my favorite places in Vancouver is the Regional Assembly of Text! Its an adorable little type shop on main street and on the first thursday of every monday Brandy serves Tea and cookies and invites anyone to sit and type letters, poems, notes, quotes, letters of love, memos... anything! You can tell when someone is getting really into a letter when the typing gets more agressive.... or when theres a silence and a point to ponder before making it official! haha She brings out all her vintage machines and supplies paper and envelopes! Its wonderful!!
Alright... so i broke down. After my friend told me of a mental breakdown she had when visiting the new Sephora, having to force herself out of the store with in 20 minutes, i told myself i would never go inside! however.... like chocolate i gave in! I GAVE IN! i told myself my make-up bag is full and there is no room for "glitters and gold!"...but once i entered the glossy doors i reached a mecca of make up! The perfect blushes (rightfully named Orgasm by Nars), mascara that turns your lashes into velvet (Texas lash by Cargo), and the god sent eyeshadow (skinny Jean cream shadow by Benifit)! This is just the beginning of a fabulous year!
Brilliant! I'm not one to fork out my savings for a pair of J Brand denim dreams, nor do I opt to cheap out on old navy rag tags.... but I have found the perfect Jeans for me! I inherited my a bottom from my german roots and frankly the cheap mondays everyone is raving about (one because they are so cheap, and two because the come in wicked colores) do not fit to my figure. however after a trip to new york last spring i grabbed a pair of MADEWELL jeans! PErfect! They are awesome! Those jeans and a thunderstore made my trip! XO i love new york!
